About the Item
Stunning perfectly straight stripes on this murano bowl,which is a very difficult task while blowing a curved bowl. A vibrant red stripe which is cased in an opalescent and then clear stripes.Fasce Shell Bowl by Archimede Seguso with Cased Red and Opalescent Stripes, Murano, 1950s
A luminous and exquisitely executed Murano shell-form bowl by Archimede Seguso, featuring perfectly straight vertical stripes—a technically demanding achievement in blown glass, particularly on a symmetrical, curved form. Known as a “Fasce” bowl, this design showcases the refined balance between artistry and engineering that defined Seguso’s mid-century output.
Each stripe features a vibrant red core, cased in opalescent white and clear crystal, producing a layered, glowing effect with ethereal depth. The visual precision of the striping—maintained seamlessly across the undulating surface—reflects the extraordinary control and craftsmanship required in its creation.
This piece hails from Murano, the famed Venetian island that has been the heart of fine glassmaking since the 13th century. For centuries, Murano’s master artisans were revered for their secret techniques and luxurious glassworks commissioned by royals, nobility, and the elite throughout Europe. By the 20th century, Murano experienced a design renaissance, combining traditional skill with modernist innovation.
Archimede Seguso (1909–1999) was among the most important figures in that resurgence. Born into a glassmaking dynasty, he trained from a young age and eventually led Seguso Vetri d’Arte before founding his own studio in 1946. Renowned for his mastery of sommerso, filigrana, reticello, and complex casing techniques, Seguso redefined Murano glass for the modern era. His work is celebrated for its balance of material clarity, color layering, and organic form—often achieving effects that seem impossible in glass.
Pieces like this shell bowl—simultaneously delicate and bold—epitomize Seguso’s contributions to 20th-century design. His works are held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Victoria & Albert Museum, Corning Museum of Glass, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This bowl is both a visual gem and a technical triumph, equally suited for collectors, designers, and lovers of Italian decorative arts.
